Chapter 1 : The Reincarnate of This Age

Nina POV

I tell you, it was just like every other day. That day I remember ever so clearly now. It was the day before everything in my life seemed to collapse.

I was walking down the street, thinking that my fiancé John who sold real-estate. He said he wasn't going to be back for at least a month. I got a letter from him today and it was pretty vague. Very much unlike him. He hasn't said exactly when he was coming home.

I went up the steps to our house and unlocked the door.

I lived with my friend Lucy. My parents died when I was quite young, and I've been living here ever since then.

Here in London, is where we live in a big mansion, it's old and fancy. Lucy and I love it.

I go up the stairs and hear noise coming from the living room.

Lucy must have people over, again.

I love my best friend Lucy. She is pure and virtuous. But she is the most notorious flirt I have ever seen. Which is sometimes quite entertaining, I daresay. She knows what to say to make the men fall in love with her.

I have forgotten that tonight was one of her get-together parties. She has them every so often.

I wander into the room and see who was there. And of course the three men who were all falling for Lucy. I couldn't help but smile. Morris, Holmwood, Seward. Quincey P. Morris the American from Texas. John Seward the doctor. And Authur Holmwood, who I predicted who would win the heart of Lucy. Lucy doesn't have a clue who she really loves. She is just one of those people pleasers, I guess.

The truth is that I admire Lucy, and I'm not surprised that men flock around her. I wish I were as pretty and as adored as she.

I watch from a distance as I always do. Knowing someday Jonathan and I will have our own house, throw parties and spend a happy lifetime together.

I could not help feeling so alone when he is not here.

After the party, Lucy and I discuss my letter outside in the gardens.

"He is so different in this letter, almost distant." I say.

Lucy takes my hand in hers and says

"Oh now don't worry, Sana, you know how he is. Business is business after all. You know how he is."

Yes. He did take his work seriously. He wanted us to have a good living while I finished college to become a school teacher. But we could've gotten married before he left…

"I guess so." I shrug the feeling off. Happy to have a friend like Lucy.

"I know who I love!" Lucy finally blurts out.

I smile and wait for my prediction to come true.

"And I've said yes!" she shows me a ring. Lucy was going to be married! I was so happy for her!

It reminded me I was still waiting to be married. I tried to convince John to marry me before he went on this trip but he said he'd feel better about it after he had a steady job.

Waiting…it felt like forever.

"I am to marry….Arthur!"

I knew it! I smile. Remembering my engagement to John. Oh John, how I missed him. What was I doing? I had to be happy for my friend Lucy! She's going to be married!

"You must be my maid of honor." I smile and nod. Lucy detects my sadness.

"Oh can't you be happy for me, Sana? Please? It will mean a lot to me." she said.

I still hold back in silence.

"Remember Arabian Nights?" She asked me teasingly, knowing it will make me smile.

I do and I laugh as I remember this morning.

One thing I know about Lucy, she can make the gravest person laugh.

Then rain began to fall.

We both smile at each other and know what we must do. We did this all the time, as children. Run through the gardens and maze until we are soaked. Her parents would scold us for doing such a thing. But we loved having the rain falling down on us, like it was renewing us, washing away any sins and make us at peace in the world. For at least a time.

Once we had enough we go inside and change and fall asleep.

Both Lucy and I would soon be plagued by countless, restless dreams.

I couldn't help but wonder when my life was actually going to begin. Unaware that tomorrow was the day I was going to regret, at least for now.
